What are Public
Lands?What's the
difference between a national park, national
forest and national monument? What about
national wildlife refuges, national historic
sites or national conservation areas?

Free Entrance Days for Public
Lands - 2018
Take in the great scenery of our natural
landscapes, learn about our nation’s rich
history, and enjoy the great outdoors -- our
nation’s public lands have so much to offer!
Every year, the Interior Department and other
land-management agencies make it easier to
visit these special places by offering free
admission to the public lands that charge an
entrance fee.
Check out the dates at the National
Park Service for a list of the public lands
that are free, and start planning your trip
today!
